Melatonin

Sick to death of not being able to get to sleep at night, take ages tossing and turning and then wake up numerous times through the night, especially at 245 am for some reason.

Following a visit to the States I bought some melatonin, slow release capsules. They work a treat getting me off to sleep, but I still wake up at 245 am and then after that have really weird, vivid dreams, eventually waking up with a slightly thick head.

Anybody any experience of melatonin? Are vivid dreams a side effect? Should I be taking it at all?

DD takes melatonin, it’s a synthetic hormone to replace a lack of natural sleep inducing hormone. It works by getting you off to sleep but it won’t keep you asleep.
